Product Code: R155-185Description Network Centric Warfare (NCW) is the new buzz phrase in the defence community. The U.S. in particular is spending billions of dollars to transform its military forces into strong, highly mobile networked units. Other countries throughout the world, including France, the U.K., Germany and Australia, are adopting similar doctrines of Network Based Operations (NBO) to update and transform their forces. Key to this doctrine are defence communications and information technology, which provide the infrastructure that make such networking possible.
Because of the tremendous size and complexity of this undertaking, however, there is increased potential for problems with speed, bandwidth, security and network organisation. Defence, I.T. and communications companies are working together to oversome these obstacles, and those that are successful could potentially see an enormous increase in revenue. This latest visiongain report will help you to confidently decide the right strategy for your company in this dynamic market.
